The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 35

Part 1 To a better future

Jake's POV

"Dr Biorn is dead alpha," I started, breaking the first news.

"Dead? How? Damn. I needed more information from him."

"There was blood everywhere. It looks like it was either one of ours that did this or it could have been a suicide," I said reimagining what could have lead to his death.

Luka frowned and stood up abruptly, moving from one side of the room to the other.

"What else?" He asked, looking away.

"Well, Dr Write said that he was not involved in the fire accident and that he suspects Brian to have done it. It seems like he had some friends that were on his side that were willing to be of a helping hand. What I am assuming is that they planned on destroying Dr Write's building, clearing out his long time experiments. Dr Write remained silent when I asked him about what he was planning on doing."

"There is only one way we can find out," the alpha said, sipping from his glass.

I joined him, sipping a bit of mine as I stood up to be on his level.

"Don't worry Luka, we have managed to win before. I don't see why we shouldn't win against such evil once again."

"To a better future," he said raising his glass clinging it to mine.

We both took the last sip of whiskey, then started to discuss other packhouse matters before we decided to call it a day.

It was already dark outside and Melody has been in the bathroom for way too long.

"Mells, are you still alive in there?" I asked sarcastically, waiting for her response.

As I heard the bathroom door open I looked up from my book, gaping at Melody's beautiful body. She was wearing her new pink nightdress that was made of soft silk which made her pregnant belly look sexy.

"What do you think?" She asked, turning around for me with her mouth quirked up.

I stared at her for a while longer, enjoying my view, then as I watched her smile and dance for me I grinned at her, pushing myself not to turn into my wolf form.

"Come here so I show you what I think," I said as I closed the book and placed it on the bedside table next to me.

The next day I was called to the alpha's office again where the enchantress and Luka have been waiting for my arrival.

"It seems like you have had a good night sleep. I could scent your sweat from miles away," he grinned at me as I took my seat.

"I had no time to shower this morning, considering our unexpected early meeting," I said, looking at the still-dark sky from the outside window.

"Apologies to you both for waking you up at this hour, but I decided we should have a word with our prisoner and see what else we must know about his experiments."

"Well then. I am fully charged and ready to go," the enchantress said, standing up from her seat.

"Hold on a second. What should we ask Dr Write? What is it that we need to know at this point?" I asked, wanting to be more prepared than the day before.

"There's only one way to find out," Luka said, looking at the enchantress with a grin.

We headed to the dark stinking dungeons where Dr Write was still fast asleep on the prison-like bed looking and smelling dirty. Of course, he had no luxury in his cell and he was lucky to have a toilet where he could dispose of his needs.

Luka exposed his wolf nails and scraped them against the metal gate, shaking Dr Write up from his sleep. Gasping, he quickly stood up, almost getting dizzy from his abrupt movement.

"What the hell," he snapped, raising his hand against his forehead, steadying himself on his feet.

"It is time for your breakfast doctor," Luka grinned, opening the gate to his cell, "Ladies first," he continued, motioning for the enchantress to go in.

The enchantress quickly made her way towards the doctor and without hesitating and giving Dr Write the chance to speak, she placed her hands around his head, focusing on her magic.

All the alpha and I could do was wait and observe whilst she does her magic.
